Lawmakers point to shutting of USAid and accessing federal payment system as markings of ‘constitutional crisis’

Summary

Progressive Democrats accused Donald Trump and Elon Musk of orchestrating a “constitutional crisis” after Musk moved to shut down USAID and gained access to a federal payment system.

Lawmakers, blocked from entering USAID’s headquarters, condemned Trump for granting Musk unchecked power over government functions.

Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Musk’s involvement could trigger financial instability, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a “plutocratic coup.”

    That’s just a No True Scotsman. “The subset of democrats who vote in line with Republicans, thus making all other democrats’ resistance moot, are simply not real democrats”

      Not really. Its the reality of a republic. I can’t vote for democrats outside of the ones who represent me. I am good with their voting records. I cannot effect who gets voted into other states but I can see the history. I am also good with the democratic presidential canidates like biden over trump or kamala over trump. so I vote that way with them. I would encourage people in other states to vote for better democratic canidates as better repbulican ones will 100% vote lockstep with the party no matter what they say while the democrat may do what they said they would. I honestly don’t know what those democrats campaigned on.
